bromoalkane. The halogen is directly replaced by I and the reaction only works for primary

halogenoalkanes.

Which halogenoalkane would produce compound X?


A (CH3)2CHCH(CH3)CH2CH2Br

B (CH3)2CHCH(CH3)CH2Br

C (CH3)2CHCH2CH2CH(CH3)Cl

D (CH3)2CHCH2CH(CH3)CH2Cl

Answer 1

Which halogenoalkane would produce compound X?

=> (CH3)2CHCH2CH2CH(CH3)Cl
